Description

本発明は、二次電池管理装置に関するものであって、さらに詳しくは、二次電池の管理動作が必要でない状態では電源の消費を完全に遮断することができる二次電池管理装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a secondary battery management device, and more particularly, to a secondary battery management device that can completely cut off power consumption when a secondary battery management operation is not required.

近年、ノートパソコンや携帯電話などのようなモバイル装置、電気自転車、電気自動車、ハイブリッド自動車のような各種の動力移動手段、停電時に電源を供給するための電力バックアップ装置、大容量の電力を貯蔵し他の装置に電力を供給する大容量電力貯蔵装置などに二次電池が幅広く使われている。   In recent years, mobile devices such as notebook computers and mobile phones, various power transfer means such as electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles, power backup devices for supplying power in the event of a power failure, and storing large amounts of power Secondary batteries are widely used in large-capacity power storage devices that supply power to other devices.

多種多様な電池の中でリチウムを用いた電池は、他の種類の電池に比べてエネルギー密度及び作動電圧が高く、寿命が長いとの長所から最も多く使われている。   Among a wide variety of batteries, a battery using lithium is most often used because it has a higher energy density and operating voltage and has a longer life than other types of batteries.

二次電池は、BMS(Battery Management System)と呼ばれる電池管理装置と結合されて使われる。電池管理装置は、二次電池の充電と放電とを適正なレベルで制御し、過放電、過充電、過電流などの異常状況が発生すれば、二次電池の充電や放電を中止し二次電池の爆発や性能の低下を防止する動作を遂行する。   The secondary battery is used in combination with a battery management device called BMS (Battery Management System). The battery management device controls the charging and discharging of the secondary battery at an appropriate level.If an abnormal situation such as overdischarge, overcharge, or overcurrent occurs, the battery management device stops charging or discharging the secondary battery and recharges the secondary battery. Perform operations to prevent battery explosion and performance degradation.

二次電池管理装置は、上述のような動作を遂行するために二次電池から電源の供給を受けるマイクロプロセッサーを含む。マイクロプロセッサーは、単位時間当り消耗する電力が大きくないので、二次電池の使用が中止された状態でも動作状態をそのまま維持する。すなわち、二次電池が充電モードまたは放電モードでないときにも、マイクロプロセッサーは二次電池の電圧、電流、温度などをモニタリングしながら持続的に二次電池の管理動作を維持する。したがって、二次電池が長期間使われなければ、マイクロプロセッサーによる電力消耗によって二次電池の充電状態(State Of Charge:SOC)が持続的に低くなる。   The secondary battery management apparatus includes a microprocessor that receives power from the secondary battery to perform the above-described operation. Since the power consumed per unit time is not large, the microprocessor maintains the operating state even when the use of the secondary battery is stopped. That is, even when the secondary battery is not in the charge mode or the discharge mode, the microprocessor continuously maintains the management operation of the secondary battery while monitoring the voltage, current, temperature, etc. of the secondary battery. Therefore, if the secondary battery is not used for a long period of time, the state of charge (SOC) of the secondary battery is continuously lowered due to power consumption by the microprocessor.

このようなSOCの低下は無駄な電力の消耗という面で望ましくない。二次電池が充電または放電状態でなければ、事実上二次電池管理装置の動作が必要でないからである。また、二次電池のSOC低下は、いくつかの特殊な状況で二次電池を過放電状態にしてしまう問題を誘発し得る。例えば、二次電池を製造するときには、一定のレベルのSOC(例:30%)になるまで二次電池を充電させる。しかし、二次電池が製造された後在庫管理倉庫や輸出用コンテナに長期間保管されるか、流通期間が長くなって二次電池の使用開始が遅くなれば、二次電池管理装置によって二次電池の電力がすべて消耗してしまい、二次電池が過放電状態に到逹する恐れがある。   Such a decrease in SOC is undesirable in terms of wasted power consumption. This is because the operation of the secondary battery management device is virtually unnecessary unless the secondary battery is in a charged or discharged state. In addition, a decrease in the SOC of the secondary battery may induce a problem that causes the secondary battery to be overdischarged in some special situations. For example, when manufacturing a secondary battery, the secondary battery is charged until the SOC reaches a certain level (eg, 30%). However, if the secondary battery is stored in an inventory management warehouse or export container for a long time after the secondary battery is manufactured, or if the secondary battery starts to be used due to a long distribution period, the secondary battery management device All the power of the battery may be consumed, and the secondary battery may reach an overdischarged state.

したがって、本発明が属する技術分野では、二次電池の充電及び放電をモニタリングすべき時点とそうでない時点を感知して二次電池管理装置に動作電源を印加/遮断することを制御することができる技術が求められている。   Therefore, in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, it is possible to control when the secondary battery management device is applied / cut off by detecting when charging and discharging of the secondary battery should be monitored and when not. Technology is required.

本発明は、上述のような従来技術の問題を解決するために創案されたものであって、充放電装置との相互接続または充放電装置からの通信要求信号の印加を感知して、二次電池から供給される電力の使用と二次電池の管理動作を開始することができる二次電池管理装置を提供することにその目的がある。   The present invention has been devised to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and detects secondary connection with a charge / discharge device or application of a communication request signal from the charge / discharge device. An object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery management device that can start use of power supplied from the battery and management operation of the secondary battery.

本発明の他の目的は、充放電装置との相互接続解除または充放電装置からの通信要求信号の印加中断を感知して、二次電池から供給される電力使用の中止と二次電池の管理動作を中断することができる二次電池管理装置を提供することにその目的がある。   Another object of the present invention is to detect the cancellation of the interconnection with the charging / discharging device or the interruption of the application of the communication request signal from the charging / discharging device, and stop the use of the power supplied from the secondary battery and manage the secondary battery. An object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery management device capable of interrupting operation.

It should be understood that there can be equivalents and variations.

図1は、本発明の実施例による二次電池管理装置20の構成と共に、二次電池管理装置20が充放電装置30と接続された状態を示すブロック図である。   FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a state in which the secondary battery management device 20 is connected to the charge / discharge device 30 together with the configuration of the secondary battery management device 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

図1を参照すれば、二次電池管理装置20は、複数のセルを備えた二次電池10と結合されて二次電池10の充電と放電とを制御し、過充電、過放電、過電流などの異常状況から二次電池を保護する機能を果たす。   Referring to FIG. 1, the secondary battery management device 20 is combined with a secondary battery 10 having a plurality of cells to control charging and discharging of the secondary battery 10, and overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent. It serves to protect the secondary battery from abnormal situations such as.

二次電池管理装置20は、電流制御スイッチ部21、コネクター部22、電源供給ライン23a、23b、及び制御部24を含む。   The secondary battery management device 20 includes a current control switch unit 21, a connector unit 22, power supply lines 23 a and 23 b, and a control unit 24.

電流制御スイッチ部21は、制御部24の統制に従って二次電池10の充電電流または放電電流が流れる経路を開閉する。電流制御スイッチ部21がターンオンされれば、充電モードでは、充放電装置30から充電電流が二次電池10側へと流れ、放電モードでは、二次電池10から放電電流が充放電装置30側へと流れる。逆に、電流制御スイッチ部21がターンオフされれば、充電モードでは、二次電池10側へと流れる充電電流が遮断され、放電モードでは、充放電装置30側へと流れる放電電流が遮断される。電流制御スイッチ部21は、電界効果トランジスター(FET)素子のような半導体素子やリレー素子などで具現できるが、本発明が電流制御スイッチ部21の種類によって限定されるものではない。   The current control switch unit 21 opens and closes a path through which the charging current or discharging current of the secondary battery 10 flows according to the control of the control unit 24. If the current control switch unit 21 is turned on, the charging current flows from the charging / discharging device 30 to the secondary battery 10 side in the charging mode, and the discharging current from the secondary battery 10 to the charging / discharging device 30 side in the discharging mode. And flow. Conversely, if the current control switch unit 21 is turned off, the charging current flowing to the secondary battery 10 side is cut off in the charging mode, and the discharging current flowing to the charging / discharging device 30 side is cut off in the discharging mode. . The current control switch unit 21 can be implemented by a semiconductor element such as a field effect transistor (FET) element or a relay element, but the present invention is not limited by the type of the current control switch unit 21.

コネクター部22は、充放電装置30との機械的な接続インターフェースを提供する。従って、コネクター部22は、充放電装置30側に備えられた対応のコネクター部31と結合される。コネクター部22と対応のコネクター部31とは、それぞれメスコネクター及びオスコネクター、またはその反対であり得る。コネクター部22と対応のコネクター部31とが形成する結合構造は、異種の機器間に電気信号を伝達するために用いられ得るコネクターの結合構造であれば、いずれでも採用可能である。コネクター部22は、充電電流または放電電流が流れる高電位ライン(パック+)及び低電位ライン(パック−)が接続される端子221、222と、高電位ライン(パック+)から分岐された第1電源供給ライン23aが接続される端子223と、二次電池10から供給される電源が印加される部品と連結された第2電源供給ライン23bが接続される端子224とを含む。そして、対応のコネクター部31は、上記高電位ライン(パック+)及び低電位ライン(パック−)と対応する充放電装置30側のラインが接続される端子311、312と、コネクター22及び対応のコネクター31が相互接続されたとき、第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとを電気的に連結させる短絡端子313とを含む。コネクター22と対応のコネクター31とが接続解除されれば、短絡端子313によって形成された第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとの電気的連結は自動的に解除される。そうすると、二次電池10から供給される電源が二次電池管理装置20に印加されないので、二次電池管理装置20の動作が自動的に中断される。   The connector unit 22 provides a mechanical connection interface with the charge / discharge device 30. Therefore, the connector part 22 is combined with the corresponding connector part 31 provided on the charge / discharge device 30 side. The connector portion 22 and the corresponding connector portion 31 may be a female connector and a male connector, respectively, or vice versa. As the connection structure formed by the connector part 22 and the corresponding connector part 31, any connection structure that can be used to transmit an electric signal between different kinds of devices can be adopted. The connector 22 includes terminals 221 and 222 to which a high potential line (pack +) and a low potential line (pack−) through which a charging current or a discharging current flows, and a first branched from the high potential line (pack +). A terminal 223 to which the power supply line 23a is connected and a terminal 224 to which a second power supply line 23b connected to a component to which power supplied from the secondary battery 10 is applied are connected. The corresponding connector unit 31 includes terminals 311 and 312 to which the line on the charge / discharge device 30 side corresponding to the high potential line (pack +) and the low potential line (pack−) is connected, the connector 22 and the corresponding line. The connector 31 includes a short-circuit terminal 313 that electrically connects the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b when the connectors 31 are connected to each other. When the connection between the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 is released, the electrical connection between the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b formed by the short-circuit terminal 313 is automatically released. Then, since the power supplied from the secondary battery 10 is not applied to the secondary battery management device 20, the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is automatically interrupted.

図2は、二次電池管理装置20と充放電装置30とが互いに分離されることで、対応のコネクター31側の短絡端子313によって形成された第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとの電気的連結が解除された様子を示す図面である。   In FIG. 2, the secondary battery management device 20 and the charge / discharge device 30 are separated from each other, so that the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b formed by the short-circuit terminals 313 on the corresponding connector 31 side. It is drawing which shows a mode that electrical connection with was cancelled | released.

以下、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との相互結合時、短絡端子313を通じて第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとが電気的に連結されて二次電池10の電源が二次電池管理装置20に供給できる状態を「電源導通状態」と称する。また、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との相互結合解除時、第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとの電気的連結が解除されて二次電池10の電源が二次電池管理装置20に供給できない状態を「電源遮断状態」と称する。ひいては、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との結合可否に従って電源導通状態と電源遮断状態とが決定されるので、コネクター22が電源供給ライン23a、23bに電源導通状態と電源遮断状態とを提供すると理解しても構わない。   Hereinafter, when the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 are mutually coupled, the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b are electrically connected through the short-circuit terminal 313, and the power supply of the secondary battery 10 is the secondary battery. A state that can be supplied to the management apparatus 20 is referred to as a “power supply conduction state”. Further, when the mutual coupling between the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 is released, the electrical connection between the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b is released, and the power supply of the secondary battery 10 is supplied to the secondary battery management device. A state in which the power supply 20 cannot be supplied is referred to as a “power-off state”. As a result, since the power supply conduction state and the power supply cutoff state are determined according to whether or not the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 are coupled, it is understood that the connector 22 provides the power supply line 23a, 23b with the power supply conduction state and the power supply cutoff state. It doesn't matter.

電源供給ライン23a、23bに電源導通状態と電源遮断状態とを提供する方式は、上記のものに限定されるのではない。従って、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との接続または接続解除によって第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとが電気的に連結されるか連結解除されることが具現可能な構成であれば、いずれでも本発明の範囲に属すると理解しなければならない。例えば、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31とが互いに結合される面に第1電源供給ライン23aと第2電源供給ライン23bとの間の連結をスイッチングする機械的リレーの接点を設け、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31とが結合されれば、リレーの接点が連結され、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31とが結合解除されれば、リレーの接点が解除される方式も採用し得る。   The method of providing the power supply lines 23a and 23b with the power supply conduction state and the power supply cutoff state is not limited to the above. Accordingly, the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b can be electrically connected or disconnected by connecting or disconnecting the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31. In any case, it should be understood that they belong to the scope of the present invention. For example, a contact point of a mechanical relay for switching the connection between the first power supply line 23a and the second power supply line 23b is provided on the surface where the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 are coupled to each other, and corresponds to the connector 22 If the connector 31 is connected, the relay contact is connected, and if the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 are released, the relay contact is released.

コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との相互接続によって電源導通状態になれば、二次電池管理装置20に含まれた各種の部品の中で電源を必要とする部品に電源を供給するBMS電源部25に二次電池10から供給される電源が印加される。逆に、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との相互接続解除によって電源遮断状態になれば、BMS電源部25に二次電池10から供給される電源の印加が遮断される。   When the power supply is in a conductive state due to the interconnection between the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31, the BMS power supply unit 25 that supplies power to the components that require power among the various components included in the secondary battery management device 20. The power supplied from the secondary battery 10 is applied to the battery. On the other hand, if the power is cut off by releasing the interconnection between the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31, the application of the power supplied from the secondary battery 10 to the BMS power supply unit 25 is cut off.

制御部24は、電源導通状態になれば、BMS電源部25を通じて動作電源の印加を受けて二次電池10の管理動作を開始する。すなわち、制御部24は、二次電池の管理動作に必要なプログラムを起動させた後、電流制御スイッチ部21をターンオンさせる。その後、制御部24は、二次電池10の充放電を制御し、二次電池10に対する各種の保護動作を遂行する。一方、制御部24は、電源遮断状態になれば、BMS電源部25から動作電源の供給を受けることができない。従って、制御部24は、二次電池10に対する管理動作を中断する。これによって、電源遮断状態では、二次電池管理装置20の動作による二次電池10の電力消耗が防止される。制御部24は、マイクロプロセッサーのような半導体チップで具現できるが、本発明がこれに限定されるものではない。   When the power supply is turned on, the control unit 24 receives the operation power from the BMS power supply unit 25 and starts the management operation of the secondary battery 10. That is, the control unit 24 activates a program necessary for the management operation of the secondary battery, and then turns on the current control switch unit 21. Thereafter, the control unit 24 controls charging / discharging of the secondary battery 10 and performs various protection operations for the secondary battery 10. On the other hand, the control unit 24 cannot receive operation power from the BMS power supply unit 25 when the power supply is cut off. Therefore, the control unit 24 interrupts the management operation for the secondary battery 10. Thereby, in the power shut-off state, power consumption of the secondary battery 10 due to the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is prevented. The control unit 24 can be implemented by a semiconductor chip such as a microprocessor, but the present invention is not limited to this.

必須ではないが、二次電池管理装置20は、充放電装置30と通信信号を送受信することができる通信端子部28をさらに含み得る。二次電池管理装置20に通信端子部28が備えられる場合、充放電装置30には対応の通信端子部32が備えられ、通信端子部28は、対応の通信端子部32と相互接続または相互接続解除されることが望ましい。通信端子部28は、対応の通信端子部32と接続されて通信インターフェースを形成する。   Although not essential, the secondary battery management device 20 may further include a communication terminal unit 28 that can transmit and receive communication signals to and from the charge / discharge device 30. When the secondary battery management device 20 includes the communication terminal unit 28, the charge / discharge device 30 includes the corresponding communication terminal unit 32, and the communication terminal unit 28 is interconnected or interconnected with the corresponding communication terminal unit 32. It is desirable to be released. The communication terminal unit 28 is connected to the corresponding communication terminal unit 32 to form a communication interface.

制御部24は、通信端子部28と対応の通信端子部32との結合を通じて形成された通信インターフェースを通じて充放電装置30と周期的に通信を遂行することができる。すなわち、充放電装置30は、一定の周期で通信要求信号を通信インターフェースを通じて二次電池管理装置20に伝送することができる。そうすると、制御部24は、通信要求信号を周期的に受信した後、充放電装置30が必要とするデータを通信インターフェースを通じて伝送する。制御部24が伝送できるデータとしては、二次電池10の電圧、充電電流または放電電流の大きさ、二次電池10の温度、二次電池10の電圧及び電流プロファイル、SOC(State Of Charge)などが挙げられる。しかし、本発明は、通信インターフェースを通じて伝送される情報の種類によって限定されるものではない。   The control unit 24 can periodically communicate with the charging / discharging device 30 through a communication interface formed by coupling the communication terminal unit 28 and the corresponding communication terminal unit 32. That is, the charging / discharging device 30 can transmit a communication request signal to the secondary battery management device 20 through the communication interface at a constant cycle. If it does so, the control part 24 will transmit the data which the charging / discharging apparatus 30 requires through a communication interface, after receiving a communication request signal periodically. The data that can be transmitted by the control unit 24 includes the voltage of the secondary battery 10, the magnitude of the charging current or the discharging current, the temperature of the secondary battery 10, the voltage and current profile of the secondary battery 10, SOC (State Of Charge), and the like. Is mentioned. However, the present invention is not limited by the type of information transmitted through the communication interface.

代案的な実施例で、二次電池管理装置20は、通信端子部28を通じて通信要求信号が受信されるか否かに従って二次電池10に対する管理動作を開始する。すなわち、二次電池管理装置20は、通信端子部28を通じて通信要求信号が受信されれば、二次電池10から電源供給ライン23a、23bを通じて動作電源の供給を受けて動作を開始する。   In an alternative embodiment, the secondary battery management device 20 starts a management operation for the secondary battery 10 according to whether a communication request signal is received through the communication terminal unit 28. That is, when the communication request signal is received through the communication terminal unit 28, the secondary battery management device 20 receives operation power from the secondary battery 10 through the power supply lines 23a and 23b and starts operation.

上述のような機能を具現するために、二次電池管理装置20は、第2電源供給ライン23b上に設けられた電源印加スイッチ部26をさらに含み得る。もちろん、電源印加スイッチ部26は、第1電源供給ライン23aに設けられても構わない。電源印加スイッチ部26は、電界効果トランジスターのような半導体素子やリレースイッチなどに具現できる。しかし、本発明が電源印加スイッチ部26の種類によって限定されるのではない。また、二次電池管理装置20は、通信端子部28を通じて充放電装置30から印加される通信要求信号の受信を感知し、電源印加スイッチ部26にターンオン信号を印加するスイッチ制御部27をさらに含み得る。二次電池管理装置20と充放電装置30との接続解除によって通信端子部28を通じて通信要求信号が受信されなければ、スイッチ制御部27は、これを感知し電源印加スイッチ部26にターンオン信号の印加を中断する。そうすると、電源印加スイッチ部26がターンオフされてBMS電源部25に二次電池10から供給される電源が印加されないので、二次電池管理装置20の動作が中断されて二次電池10の電力消耗が防止される効果がある。   In order to implement the function as described above, the secondary battery management device 20 may further include a power application switch unit 26 provided on the second power supply line 23b. Of course, the power application switch unit 26 may be provided in the first power supply line 23a. The power application switch unit 26 can be implemented as a semiconductor element such as a field effect transistor or a relay switch. However, the present invention is not limited by the type of the power application switch unit 26. The secondary battery management device 20 further includes a switch control unit 27 that senses reception of a communication request signal applied from the charging / discharging device 30 through the communication terminal unit 28 and applies a turn-on signal to the power application switch unit 26. obtain. If the communication request signal is not received through the communication terminal unit 28 due to the disconnection of the secondary battery management device 20 and the charge / discharge device 30, the switch control unit 27 detects this and applies a turn-on signal to the power application switch unit 26. Interrupt. Then, the power supply switch unit 26 is turned off and the power supplied from the secondary battery 10 is not applied to the BMS power supply unit 25. Therefore, the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is interrupted and the power consumption of the secondary battery 10 is reduced. There is an effect to be prevented.

必須ではないが、スイッチ制御部27は、二次電池10の充電電流または放電電流が流れる高電位ライン(パック+)の電圧を感知し、電圧が適正なレベルであれば、電源印加スイッチ部26にターンオン信号を印加し得る。ここで、適正なレベルは予め設定できる。   Although not essential, the switch control unit 27 senses the voltage of the high potential line (pack +) through which the charging current or discharging current of the secondary battery 10 flows, and if the voltage is at an appropriate level, the power application switch unit 26. A turn-on signal can be applied to. Here, an appropriate level can be set in advance.

二次電池管理装置20は、二次電池10の電圧をモニタリングして二次電池10のすべてのセルの電圧または特定のセルの電圧が放電下限値まで低下した場合、過放電保護動作を遂行した後動作を中止することができる。このために、二次電池管理装置20は、二次電池10に含まれた各セルの電圧を測定し制御部24に出力するセル電圧測定部29をさらに含み得る。このような場合、制御部24は、セル電圧測定部29によって測定された各セル電圧データから二次電池10のすべてのセルの電圧または特定のセルの電圧が放電下限値まで低下して過放電状態が誘発されたか否かが判別できる。そして、過放電状態が誘発されたと判別されれば、電流制御スイッチ部21をターンオフさせて放電電流の流れを遮断した後、スイッチ制御部27を制御して電源印加スイッチ部26をターンオフさせる。そうすると、BMS電源部25に供給されていた動作電源が遮断されることで、二次電池管理装置20の動作が中断され、二次電池10の電力消耗が防止される効果がある。   The secondary battery management device 20 monitors the voltage of the secondary battery 10 and performs the overdischarge protection operation when the voltage of all the cells of the secondary battery 10 or the voltage of a specific cell falls to the discharge lower limit value. The post-operation can be stopped. For this purpose, the secondary battery management device 20 may further include a cell voltage measurement unit 29 that measures the voltage of each cell included in the secondary battery 10 and outputs the measured voltage to the control unit 24. In such a case, the control unit 24 overdischarges the voltage of all cells of the secondary battery 10 or the voltage of a specific cell from the cell voltage data measured by the cell voltage measurement unit 29 to the discharge lower limit value. It can be determined whether or not the state has been triggered. If it is determined that an overdischarge state has been induced, the current control switch unit 21 is turned off to cut off the flow of the discharge current, and then the switch control unit 27 is controlled to turn off the power application switch unit 26. If it does so, the operation | movement power supply supplied to the BMS power supply part 25 will be interrupted | blocked, operation | movement of the secondary battery management apparatus 20 will be interrupted, and there exists an effect which the power consumption of the secondary battery 10 is prevented.

充放電装置30は、充電モードでは二次電池10に充電電流を提供し、放電モードでは二次電池10から放電電流の供給を受ける装置である。   The charging / discharging device 30 is a device that supplies a charging current to the secondary battery 10 in the charging mode, and receives a discharging current from the secondary battery 10 in the discharging mode.

図3は、充放電装置30の一実施例を示すブロック図である。   FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the charge / discharge device 30.

図3を参照すれば、充放電装置30は、充電電流を提供するために商用交流電源33の供給を受けて充電電流を生成することができる充電ユニット34を含む。選択的に、充放電装置30は、商用交流電源33の供給を受けて直流電源を生成し、自己負荷または外部負荷37に供給する定電流供給ユニット35をさらに含み得る。選択的に、充放電装置30は、二次電池管理装置20側に電池の状態情報を要求して伝送され、伝送された情報を有無線通信網を通じてモニタリングサーバーのような外部の管理装置に伝送する通信ユニット36を含み得る。   Referring to FIG. 3, the charging / discharging device 30 includes a charging unit 34 that can receive the supply of the commercial AC power supply 33 and generate the charging current to provide the charging current. Alternatively, the charging / discharging device 30 may further include a constant current supply unit 35 that receives a supply of the commercial AC power supply 33 to generate a DC power supply and supplies the DC power supply to the self-load or the external load 37. Optionally, the charging / discharging device 30 requests and transmits the battery status information to the secondary battery management device 20 side, and transmits the transmitted information to an external management device such as a monitoring server through a wired / wireless communication network. Communication unit 36 may be included.

必須ではないが、二次電池管理装置20と充放電装置30とは相互連動して負荷37に対する電源バックアップシステムを構成し得る。すなわち、普段には、充放電装置30は、商用交流電源33の供給を受け、直流電源に変換した後、負荷37に印加する。また、これとは並列的に、充放電装置30は、商用交流電源33が供給する交流電流を直流電流に変換して二次電池10に供給することで、二次電池10を充電する。一方、停電などによって商用交流電源33の供給が遮断されれば、充放電装置30は、二次電池10から放電電流の供給を受け、これを負荷37が必要とする適正なレベルの直流電流に変換した後負荷37に印加する。   Although not essential, the secondary battery management device 20 and the charging / discharging device 30 may constitute a power backup system for the load 37 in conjunction with each other. That is, usually, the charging / discharging device 30 receives supply of the commercial AC power supply 33, converts it to a DC power supply, and then applies it to the load 37. In parallel with this, the charging / discharging device 30 charges the secondary battery 10 by converting the alternating current supplied by the commercial alternating-current power supply 33 into a direct current and supplying it to the secondary battery 10. On the other hand, if the supply of the commercial AC power supply 33 is interrupted due to a power failure or the like, the charging / discharging device 30 receives the supply of the discharge current from the secondary battery 10 and converts this to the appropriate level of DC current required by the load 37. After the conversion, the load 37 is applied.

上述のような機能を具現するために、二次電池管理装置20は、高電位ライン(パック+)の電圧をモニタリングし、停電によって電力が供給されていないと判断されれば、電流制御スイッチ部21を放電モードで動作させることで、二次電池10から充放電装置30側へと放電電流を供給する。放電電流の供給が続けられれば、二次電池10の充電状態が放電下限値まで落ちるようになり、このような場合、二次電池管理装置10の制御部24は電流制御スイッチ部21をターンオフさせ、スイッチ制御部27を統制して電源印加スイッチ部26をターンオフさせることで、二次電池管理装置20の動作自体を停止させる。そうすると、二次電池10の電力がそれ以上消耗しない効果が発生する。   In order to implement the function as described above, the secondary battery management device 20 monitors the voltage of the high potential line (pack +), and if it is determined that power is not supplied due to a power failure, the current control switch unit By operating 21 in a discharge mode, a discharge current is supplied from the secondary battery 10 to the charge / discharge device 30 side. If the supply of the discharge current is continued, the state of charge of the secondary battery 10 falls to the discharge lower limit value. In such a case, the control unit 24 of the secondary battery management device 10 turns off the current control switch unit 21. Then, the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is stopped by controlling the switch control unit 27 to turn off the power application switch unit 26. If it does so, the effect that the electric power of the secondary battery 10 will not be consumed any more will generate | occur | produce.

上述した実施例によれば、二次電池管理装置20側のコネクター22と充放電装置30の対応のコネクター31とが相互接続されるか相互接続の解除に従って、二次電池管理装置20の動作の開始または終了を基本にし、選択的に、充放電装置30から通信端子部28に受信される通信要求信号の受信を感知して二次電池管理装置20の動作が開始または終了され得ることを説明した。   According to the embodiment described above, the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is performed according to whether the connector 22 on the secondary battery management device 20 side and the corresponding connector 31 of the charge / discharge device 30 are interconnected or the interconnection is released. Explained that the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 can be started or ended by sensing reception of a communication request signal received from the charge / discharge device 30 to the communication terminal unit 28 based on start or end. did.

しかし、その反対の実施例も可能である。すなわち、二次電池管理装置20側の通信端子部28と充放電装置30の対応の通信端子部32とが相互接続されるか相互接続の解除に従って、二次電池管理装置20の動作の開始または終了を基本にし、選択的に、二次電池管理装置20側のコネクター22と充放電装置30の対応のコネクター31とが相互接続されるか相互接続が解除されることに従って、二次電池管理装置20の動作を開始または終了させることも可能である。   However, the opposite embodiment is also possible. That is, when the communication terminal unit 28 on the secondary battery management device 20 side and the corresponding communication terminal unit 32 of the charge / discharge device 30 are interconnected or the interconnection is released, the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is started or Based on the termination, the secondary battery management device is selectively connected in accordance with whether the connector 22 on the secondary battery management device 20 side and the corresponding connector 31 of the charge / discharge device 30 are interconnected or disconnected. It is also possible to start or end 20 operations.

また、コネクター22と対応のコネクター31との相互接続と相互接続の解除とを利用した二次電池管理装置20のオン・オフ制御と、通信端子部28を通じた通信要求信号の受信可否に従う二次電池管理装置20のオン・オフ制御とは、何れか一方のみを選択して適用しても良く、二つのオン・オフ制御方式を共に適用することもできることは本発明が属する技術分野で通常の知識を持つ者に自明である。   Further, the secondary battery management device 20 is turned on / off using the interconnection between the connector 22 and the corresponding connector 31 and the release of the interconnection, and the secondary according to whether the communication request signal can be received through the communication terminal unit 28. The on / off control of the battery management device 20 may be applied by selecting only one of them, and the two on / off control methods can be applied together in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. It is obvious to those who have knowledge.

本発明によれば、二次電池管理装置から充放電装置が接続解除されれば、電源供給ラインを通じて二次電池から電源が供給されないので、二次電池が長時間放置されても二次電池の電力が消耗することを防止することができる。また、二次電池管理装置と充放電装置との接続が維持された状態で長時間放置されても二次電池の電圧が一定のレベルまで低下すれば、電源供給ラインを通じて二次電池から供給されていた電源が遮断されるので、二次電池が過放電されることが防止できる。ひいては、停電状況が発生すれば、二次電池の放電によって充放電装置に電力が供給されるので、充放電装置が一定の時間正常に作動する。しかし、二次電池の放電によって二次電池の電圧が一定のレベルまで落ちれば、二次電池管理装置の電源消耗が中断されるので、停電状況で二次電池が過放電されることが防止できる。そして、停電が解除されれば、商用交流電源によって充放電装置が作動を始めながら通信端子部を通じて通信要求信号が受信され、高電位端子(パック+)にも適正なレベルの電圧が維持されるので、二次電池管理装置が動作を始めて二次電池の充電及び保護動作を開始する。一方、二次電池が納品される前には二次電池管理装置に充放電装置が接続されていない状態であるので、二次電池管理装置に電源の印加が遮断されて二次電池の電力の消耗が防止できる。上述したすべての実施例において、二次電池10の充電電流または放電電流が流れる高電位ライン(パック+)の電圧をモニタリングし、電圧が適正なレベルであれば、二次電池管理装置20の動作状態を維持する制御方式を選択的に適用できることは本発明が属する技術分野で通常の知識を持つ者に自明である。   According to the present invention, if the charging / discharging device is disconnected from the secondary battery management device, power is not supplied from the secondary battery through the power supply line. It is possible to prevent power consumption. In addition, if the voltage of the secondary battery drops to a certain level even if it is left for a long time with the connection between the secondary battery management device and the charge / discharge device maintained, it is supplied from the secondary battery through the power supply line. Since the power supply that has been cut off is cut off, the secondary battery can be prevented from being overdischarged. As a result, if a power failure occurs, power is supplied to the charging / discharging device by discharging the secondary battery, so that the charging / discharging device operates normally for a certain period of time. However, if the voltage of the secondary battery drops to a certain level due to the discharge of the secondary battery, the power consumption of the secondary battery management device is interrupted, so it is possible to prevent the secondary battery from being overdischarged in the event of a power failure. . And if a power failure is cancelled | released, a communication request signal will be received through a communication terminal part, while a charging / discharging apparatus will start operation | movement by commercial AC power supply, and the voltage of an appropriate level is maintained also at a high potential terminal (pack +). Therefore, the secondary battery management device starts operating and starts charging and protecting the secondary battery. On the other hand, since the charge / discharge device is not connected to the secondary battery management device before the secondary battery is delivered, the application of power to the secondary battery management device is cut off and the power of the secondary battery is reduced. Consumption can be prevented. In all the embodiments described above, the voltage of the high potential line (pack +) through which the charging current or discharging current of the secondary battery 10 flows is monitored. If the voltage is at an appropriate level, the operation of the secondary battery management device 20 is performed. It is obvious to those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs that the control method for maintaining the state can be selectively applied.

また、上述したすべての実施例において、二次電池管理装置20の制御部24とスイッチ制御部27とは個別の構成要素として説明されたが、これは機能上の区分に過ぎないため、一つの構成要素として統合できることは本発明が属する技術分野で通常の知識を持つ者に自明である。   Moreover, in all the embodiments described above, the control unit 24 and the switch control unit 27 of the secondary battery management device 20 have been described as separate components, but this is only a functional category, It is obvious to those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs that it can be integrated as a component.

また、上述した実施例において、コネクター部22と通信端子部28とは個別の構成要素として分離されていると説明した。しかし、コネクター部22と通信端子部28とは一つの構成要素として統合し得る。すなわち、コネクター部22に通信端子部28を統合させることもでき、その反対も可能である。このような場合、コネクター部22と通信端子部28とは一つの構成要素に含まれた副次的な構成要素として理解されるべきであることは自明である。   Further, in the above-described embodiments, it has been described that the connector portion 22 and the communication terminal portion 28 are separated as individual components. However, the connector part 22 and the communication terminal part 28 can be integrated as one component. That is, the communication terminal portion 28 can be integrated with the connector portion 22 and vice versa. In such a case, it is obvious that the connector portion 22 and the communication terminal portion 28 should be understood as secondary components included in one component.

以上のように、本発明は、たとえ限定された実施例と図面とによって説明されたとしても、本発明はこれによって限定されず、本発明が属する技術分野において通常の知識を持つ者により本発明の技術思想と特許請求範囲の均等範囲内で多様な修正及び変形が可能なのは言うまでもない。   As described above, even if the present invention is described with reference to the limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention can be obtained by those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. It goes without saying that various modifications and variations can be made within the scope of the technical idea and the scope of claims.
